[bestbits] Open CS letter to the ICDPPC: open for signatures until COB Monday 18 September

[Sheetal Kumar]

Dear all,

I'm writing to share an open letter to the organisers of the International
Conference of Data Protection and Privacy Commissioners (ICDPPC
<https://icdppc.org/>) which has been drafted by civil society groups and
signed on to by more than 25 civil society groups from around the world.

The letter calls for a more open, inclusive and transparent Conference and
includes concrete recommendations to the ICDPPC. Find the letter in the
etherpad below:

With apologies for the short notice, should you or your organisation be
interested in signing onto this letter, we welcome signatures until *COB
Monday 18 September.* The letter will be presented to the organisers of the
Conference before the start of the next Conference proceedings, which start
on 25 September in Hong Kong.

In case of interest, for more information about the ICDPPC, GPD and Access
Now have worked together on tools which provide an introduction to the
ICDPPC for human rights advocates and which you can find by following the
